Merry Christmas Eve! A year and a half ago, I had all but given up on doing Rachel Off Duty. Blogging is time-consuming, costly, and at times, stressful, especially when you don’t always see the instant gratification of having thousands of readers or subscribers. But the support I’ve received since starting back up again has honestly been so inspiring, and as fun as 2017 has been, I cannot wait to see what 2018 brings.

We’re in the home stretch leading up to the holidays, and if you’re feeling the effects of end-of-year hustle and bustle like I am, you know that holiday parties are our opportunity to unwind, spend time with the people that matter, and forget about all the craziness and stress that led up to where we are now. It's our time to give ourselves permission to actually kick back and celebrate.

No matter where you work, it’s tough to navigate the trepidatiously thin line between wanting to look seasonally sultry (read: “THAT’S the girl that sits in the corner cubicle? She looks AMAZING!”) and wanting to keep your appearance work-appropriate, especially since higher-ups will be in attendance. Obviously, the first approach sounds more fun. So what exactly do you wear to the work holiday party?
